Agreed. Morrison isn't Fett, period. If anything, he's playing Fett like Jango. And yes, he is a clone blah blah, BUT IMHO, the prequel idea of creating Jango Fett and the DNA bit sorta screwed the persona that Jeremy Bulloch and the rest of the Fett Stuntguys created, fleshed out and made us fans.
This is one thing that's always really irked me when it comes to the "BuT hE's A cLoNe" arguments.. The damn kid was separated from his father at like the age of 12 in a horrific fashion the middle of the battle that starts off the Galactic Civil War...
He's literally left there in the arena alone with no one to console him after him having watched his own father be decapitated right before his eyes. After burying his father's body in the sands of the arena and taking his armor (possibly coming back later for it??), he then fly's away alone in Slave I off into the Galaxy, with presumably only his fathers few questionable Bounty Hunter ties and basic Mandalorian training to guide him on his path... The sheer number of truly horrific possibilities that could, and likely would, happen to a kid left alone at that age in the StarWars universe of the OT/PT, during a Civil War, would undoubtedly have lead to them having had an
extremely harsh life over the 20+ years that have passed since we last saw him, and presumably would be an entirely different person at their very core, including losing the stupid kiwi accent.
My biggest fear with BoBF is that Filoni simply views Boba as 'Jango II' rather than the ruthless intelligent calculating and proficient character we see preestablished in ESB, because he might be one of those who mistakenly thinks "BoBa FeTt DiDn'T dO aNyThInG" in the OT
An excellent TFA era character comparison essay writeup on Boba's wonderful tertiary character presentation in ESB for those interested.
We’ve all seen the memes. We’ve all seen the articles called “X Things Wrong with The Force Awakens” and the rebuttals that point out what should have been obvious to anyone…

Simple facts are that Boba Fett is the sole reason in ESB for why things go south for our Hero's at the flip of a hat, and on top of that.. Boba Fett is the ONLY character in all of ESB to actually accomplish his set task and goals in the entire film, all of which establishes vital character
Every other character in The Empire Strikes Back fails at their desired goals...
Luke =
Fails to complete his training and save his friends, and ends up battered as well as being the one needing saving..
Vader =
Fails to capture and turn Luke for the Emperor, as well as failing to turn him to his own plans after revealing his true identity..
Yoda/Obi-wan =
Both fail to stop Luke from leaving or complete in his training, bringing further significant risk to the Galaxy
Leia/Chewie =
Fail to save Han from Boba, and barely escape from the Empire in one piece themselves..
Han =
Failed to escape The Empire in his famed Millennium Falcon, and is captured by a Bounty Hunter for Vaders needs only to then be frozen as a test subject, and is brought to Jabba (Hans big existential threat up until then)
The Empire =
Loses track of the Rebels after Battle of Hoth, and then again after some of our Hero's barely manage to escape after fixing the Falcons hyperdrive which the Empire disabled..
The Rebels =
Fail to hide from the Empire. Fail miserably in their defense of the base during the Battle of Hoth, and are left floating through space looking for a new safe home for their base... (one which they seemingly don't find even come ROTJ?).
Boba Fett =
Hired to do a simple job "I want them found and captured ALIVE..". Accomplished said task quickly and efficiently. Leaves with a payday of a double bounty to bring to Jabba, all with hardly a shot fired...
That's the competent calculating and proficient character that's being ultimately lost in this sadly..
